Seven years ago, Gabriel Sharpe's best friend, Roger Waverly, died in a racing accident. Now Roger's sister, Virginia, is blaming Gabe for his death and wants revenge. Gabe is a daredevil, taking chance after chance with his life because of his guilt over Roger's death. Gabe knows he must marry within the year in order to get his inheritance, so why not marry Virginia who has no prospects. When Virginia challenges Gabe to a race, Gabe counters with a courtship offer.

This is another interesting romance in Jeffries' Hellions of Halstead Hall series. Gabe is very easy to like and his pursuit of Virgnia is fun. He feels responsible for Virginia since her brother is gone. Virginia wants to make Gabe pay for his part in Roger's death. But as she gets to know Gabe, she realizes how he has beat himself up over the past.

I really like how Sabrina Jeffries introduces new characters into the series. I really liked Virginia's cousin, Pierce Waverly, and I'm hoping he will eventually get his own book. My only problem with the book (and the whole series) is the overall story arc concerning the deaths of mom and dad Sharpe, is a little weak. It is moving very slow for me, but at least I know they will wind up the mystery in the next (and last) book in the series. My rating: 4.5 Stars.
